94pts James Suckling

Very attractive nose of raspberries, licorice and oranges with a touch of summer flowers. Round and silky on the full-bodied palate, the ample tannins are beautifully integrated, making the long, refined finish velvety. A cuvee of 65% greanche, 20% syrah, and 5% each of mourvedre, counoise and cinsault from biodynamically grown grapes.

93pts Vinous

Vinified from certified organic grapes and checking in at 15.5% alcohol, the 2022 Chateauneuf-Du-Pape is gorgeous.  Licorice, strawberry jam, raspberry, red cherry and meaty components are all nicely delineated.  Touching the entire palate with loads of concentration and a juicy fruit core, the 2022 possesses a firm tannic structure, so I'd give it at least three more years in a bottle.  It was aged for 15 months in a combination of concrete tanks (90%) and new oak barriques (10%).

Winemaker Notes

A bouquet nose of garrigue, flowers of cistus, blackcurrant buds. A mouth full of freshness and balance, with aromas of cocoa and Morello cherry, with a long and licorice finish.

In its youth, this vintage is perfect to pair with a shoulder of lamb 12 hr cooking in oven, roast pigeon with fungi porcini and from its fifth year, stew, Daube Provencal, all game and many cheeses.
